About Us

Stunning Photos

I love "shooting" people and capturing emotions. The lovestruck awe in the eyes of a newly engaged couple. The look of a groom when he first sees his bride. The tears of a father giving away his daughter. The moment of shock on an award recipient's face. The passion of an emerging artist performing their first show. The swelling pride of a graduate finishing their degree. The never ending curiosity of a child exploring the world around them. My photos tell a story, whether through a portrait or a wedding book, that will make your moments last forever.

Planning

Setting the right expectations is one of the most important steps to a successful relationship. I’ll coordinate with you prior to your event, so that no moments are missed.

Final Product

Once the photos are taken, I’ll help you show them off. A canvas, album, or prints, I’ve got you covered. Let’s make sure your great grand children see your photos.

Being able to see what’s going to happen before it happens so that I’m in the right place at the right time.

Not only creativity

Services

A lot of fun in the process

Awesome Service

Your photos will last a life time. My priority is to make sure you are happy with them. I'll work with you before your event to make sure your needs are covered and I'll give you advise on how to get the most out of your investment. The best solution is not always the most expensive.

Expertise

Everyone has a camera now a days. So why hire a professional photographer? Photography is more than just having a good camera. You need to know how to use it, have a "good eye", know how to get the most out of every situation and be able to, no matter what, get great photos. That only comes with experience. My fancy camera isn't the only thing that makes the photos look good.

Fun

The best photos come when you are having fun. It's all about capturing emotions in the right way. That's why I strive to make your day stress-free. That way you don't have to worry about me and you can enjoy your event. The more fun you have, the better you'll look in your photos.

"The instrument is not the camera, but the photographer."

Who I am

And inspire others to come along

Everyone that knows me, knows that I'm a visionary. I always have new ideas and like to get others involved to make them happen. Not only am I a father, professional photographer and philanthropist, but I love to do crazy things. From bungee jumping to being deserted on an island, I always manage to find an adventure.

Your Feedback

I like making people smile

I could talk for hours about how good I am, but your opinion will always be the truest and most important.

We have had a great time working with Javier and his team for our photography needs. Our first session with him was an engagement photo shoot in Jasper, where we spent the day with him in various locations taking shots and having a few laughs. A year later, we had the pleasure of using his services for our wedding, tasking him with some difficult nighttime shots, and moving vehicle shots as well. Our most recent session with Javier was to help capture our maternity photos, having a good time in the snow in Edmonton’s river valley. You cannot ask for a better person or company to capture your moment(s). Javier has an amazing attention to detail, a great demeanor to help relax his clients in front of the camera, and an impeccable product to deliver.

Javier was a blast to work with! He was open to our suggestions and went with the style of photography that we most liked. He worked with us and was very easy to work with, every step of the way. We loved the photos and couldn't have asked for a better photographer on our wedding day. There was no stress and it was a lot of fun! After everything is said and done, all you have left is your memories and your photos of that special day. I can't get over how well the photos turned out. We absolutely love them!
We highly recommend Javier for all of your photography needs...you won't regret it.

It’s @InternationalWomensDay. I can’t believe that in 2017 there are still so many issues surrounding women. From respect to trafficking, it’s crazy to think that women have to deal with so many things in a society that is supposed to be developed. One of the issues I’ve encountered is #endometriosis. […]

In 2012, I developed a campaign to create awareness for endometriosis with the help of a few organizations in Latin America. It was designed in Spanish for those countries. You might’ve seen it. Five years later, in 2017, we will release a second version. Except this time, it involves you. […]

I had the chance to shoot this wedding in beautiful Victoria, BC. First, what a beautiful location to shoot in. But most importantly, it was super fun to shoot Debbie and Jaspar again. As you can see in some of the shots, there were cameras everywhere, so it was fun […]

It’s been a while since I posted on my blog. And I have so much to post. I’ll try to start posting again even if it’s once every week or two. But here’s one of my favourite weddings to start. What an awesome wedding. From the Winspear Centre as a […]

While browsing the web looking for something new, I found this style of black and white that got my attention. It’s very dramatic and I think goes very well with symetric architecture shots. I will post the color versions of these same photos on a different post so you can […]

I’ve posted this a couple of times already, but the point of this campaign is to create awareness. So, I’ll write about it again. One of my best friends was diagnosed with Endometriosis a few years back. She looked for help and it was very difficult to find it. She realized […]

I would love to be with you for all of the important experiences in your life. From your grad, to your wedding, to your first born child. I want to turn those moments into memories that will last a lifetime.
